The Ultimate Footer Ad

I am guessing many of you have already seen the Ultimate Footer Ad that many websites have installed on their websites lately, and we are using on this site as well. It is the form that popped up from the bottom of our website when you first came to our site. It looks like this…

Now I am not here to tell you how great it is, as we have just started using it and I have no stats to give you on whether it works or not, but so far I think it is a very cool product. We do plan to test it out very thoroughly and I will get back to you and let you know how it works for us. Not only are we going to test it out on this site, but we are going to test it out on a couple of our more established sites and see if we can get our opt-in subscriber conversions up. I will update you in a month or so and let you know the results for each site.

As for the product itself, it is not a WordPress plug-in, but a standalone script that (I believe) will work on any website. It does takes a little bit of technical skills to install, as you need to create a database for it, but the scripts designer has created very simple “walk-you-through-it” instructions that make it very easy to get it up and running. He also included some great video tutorials to show you different ways you can use the script to help build your business.

Another really cool thing is you can choose from 2 different ad types; it can be used as a standard “clickable” ad, or it can be set-up as an opt-in form that works with most of the major autoresponders. We use Aweber and it was SUPER EASY to setup!

It also comes with 72 pre-installed graphic templates that allow you to change the look of the ad with a push of a button. If you would like to add your own custom graphics, you can simply add them to your own template folder and upload it to your server and the script automatically recognizes it. That’s what we did for this site and it worked flawlessly.

There are several other features, but you can read all that information on their website. As for the cost, at this time it is priced at $47 and it comes with “unlimited domain usage”, which means you can use it on all your websites. I REALLY like that, as many scripts you purchase nowadays only allow you to use it on one site, and you have to pay more to put it on multiple sites.

Below is a video I created showing how  easy it is to actually create a footer ad. It is my first video, so try not to be too critical on the quality.

Again, I will get back to you in a month or so and let you know if we see some higher conversions.

How about you guys, are any of you using the Ultimate Footer Ad? I am curious to hear the results of people who have actually used the script for a while, and to know if any of the templates work better than the rest. Please let us know in the comment section below.
